10 New Finisher Possibilities For Roman Reigns' WWE Return
10. The Falcon Arrow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8w0knairlXY We start off this list with a fairly commonplace maneuver, the Falcon Arrow, a.k.a. the Sitout Vertical Suplex Slam. Innovated by high-flying Japanese superstar Hayabusa, so far only two notable stars have used this move in WWE: Fandango, who used it on a few occasions, and Hardcore Holly, who once called the move the Hollycaust. Theres a terrible joke in there somewhere. As Ive mentioned in a previous article, moves involving a straight up Vertical Suplex are becoming rare phenomena in the WWE, partly due to how much strain is put on the users knees. That said, this isnt like the Vertical Suplex that John Cena used to use, where he would have a delay and bend his knees a few times while holding his opponents in the air. If Roman Reigns were to adopt this move, it would in likelihood be either a signature move or a prelude to something else. As of this writing, Roman Reigns superstar comeback consists of a few clotheslines, a Samoan Drop, the rope-hung running dropkick, the superman Punch and finally, the Spear. It would be interesting to see him use more grappling techniques, and the Falcon Arrow would be a good choice.
